Piracy is not just "Pirates of the Caribbean" Piracy is a real issue. One that requires planning and due diligence to avoid putting the guests, crew and vessel in harms way.
I feel the best strategy, the same as my storm strategy, that is avoidance! Go around it when ever possible! On top of that preparation, training and a solid security plan is essential.
PS I did not take the picture here. I hope and pray never to get this close to a real pirate.
To see the real picture of the actual attacks and attempted attacks as tracked and published by the International Maritime Bureau, check the links below.
The links are interactive you can zoom in and out and click on a specific attack to get the details.
